What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Workforce Development to create and administer a grant program to provide hazard pay to certain employees who perform hazardous work or work involving physical hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic after March 12, 2020. The bill also requires DWD to notify employers about the grant program and to prioritize grants to employers in industries that are most negatively affected by the pandemic. The maximum grant an employer may receive for hazard pay is $13 per hour worked per employee, and if an employer receives a grant the employer is required to use it to provide the hazard pay.
The bill also creates an individual income tax subtraction, or deduction, for up to $600 of hazard pay received by an employee from an employer that receives a hazard pay grant.

Finally, the bill also provides additional funding for the University of Wisconsin System under its general program operations appropriation and for special education aid for school districts, independent charter schools, cooperative educational service agencies, and county children with disabilities education boards for purposes of maintaining compliance with maintenance of effort requirements of the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act and the federal American Rescue Plan Act.
Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill.
